A lot of the Nations considered very powerful are very powerful because users have developed winning strategies for them. Look at Marverni--Noone's going to consider Marverni a pushover now, post Baalz' strategy guide. Before, apparently, they were pretty pathetic. Even a Nation like Niefelheim-arguably the single most powerful Nation in the game, at this point-doesn't come into it's own unless it's got a good bless strategy, coupled with human sneakiness. The AI can play it pretty strongly, as a blunt instrument, but it's easy enough to outwit.
